One of the first things I can suggest getting is a EXIF data viewer. There are browser plugins that will allow you to read what type of hardware was used and if it was altered. Here is am example from one of the photos above: EXIF IFD0Camera Make PanasonicCamera Model DMC-FZ8Picture Orientation normal (1)X-Resolution 72/1 ===> 72Y-Resolution 72/1 ===> 72X/Y-Resolution Unit inch (2)Software / Firmware Version Ver.1.0Last Modified Date/Time 2009:07:26 12:59:04Y/Cb/Cr Positioning (Subsampling) co-sited / datum point (2)Custom Rendered normal process (0)Exposure Mode auto exposure (0)Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) 10/2000 second ===> 1/200 second ===> 0.005 secondLens F-Number / F-Stop 56/10 ===> ƒ/5.6Exposure Program normal program (2)ISO Speed Ratings 100 White Balance auto (0)Digital Zoom Ratio 0/10 ===> 0Focal Length in 35mm Film 119Scene Capture Type standard (0)Gain Control n/a (0)Contrast normal (0)Saturation normal (0)Sharpness normal (0)
